STOCKHOLM -(Dow Jones)- Swedish telecommunications company, Ericsson Thursday said Vodafone Group will today launch its mobile broadband offering in Germany with support of a HSDPA solution delivered by Ericsson.
High Speed Downlink Packet Access will be available first in Hannover, Frankfurt, Duesseldorf and Munich and eventually throughout the entire WCDMA network, which today covers over 70% of the population.
Vodafone will promote HSDPA as "UMTS Broadband" to their German customers, Ericsson said.
Ericsson said its mobile broadband solution HSDPA not only provides high data throughput rates comparable to wireline broadband access over DSL technology, but it also offers over twice the effective capacity of WCDMA and shortening response times for interactive services.
